I am looking for the family of one of my relatives. his name is Thomas Addy b.1833 Stalybridge Cheshire/Lancashire.( Father Joshua Addy/ mother Mary. He appears on the 1851with siblings`& 1861 census with his wife Eliza b. 1827 and daughter Mary Ann b.1853.I can't find him on any of the other census records( thanks to Bernice for checking! but she can't see them there either)
We did wonder if they had emigrated to either USA (as other family members did later) or Australia? I do not have access to the US census so would be grateful if anyone could check on there for me.
thankyou very much for your help
Best wishes
Janice
